By HAL APPLEBAUM
Tau Kappa Epsilon, aided by the
four-hit pitching of Doug Lookens
and three Sigma Chi errors, scored
a 3-2 victory in the social frater-
nity 'A' championship yesterday
at Wines Field.
A run scored by the TKE's on
a disputed tag-up play in the sixth
inning turned out to be the de-
ciding run in the tightly-played
contest.
Bruce Clemenz started the TKE
sixth with a safe bunt. Bruce Bow-
ers attempting to move him along
with another bunt, wa$ safe when
Sigma Chi third baseman Roger
Netzer threw wildly in an attempt
to get him. The runners advanced
to second and third on the over-
throw.
The next batter, Harry Wiles,
popped up to John Wylie, and
Clemenz tagged up and scored
after the catch. A dispute involving
most of the Sigma Chi players
took place following the play, as
they argued to no avail that the
runner had failed to tag up.
Sigma Chi scored first when
pitcher Steve Steiler singled with
one out in the last of the third.
He took third on an error by
Clemenz and scored when he slid
under the TKE catcher's tag fol-
lowing Bob McCollum's ground
ball.
TKE scored in the fifth on a
safe bunt, an error and a sacrifice
fly on which the runner appeared
to be out at the plate, but Sigma
Chi catcher Marv Nyren couldn't
hang on to the ball.
They scored again in the fifth
on a walk to Ron Sandilands, a
single by Bill Snick and Doug
Looken's sacrifice fly.
In the third place 'A' playoff
game, Chi Psi easily downed Alpha
Delta Phi, 11-6.

Strong fielding and the one-
hit pitching of Jim Williams com-
bined to give Ann Arbor Double
A's a 6-2 victory over Actuaries
in the Independent third place
softball playoffs at Ferry Field
yesterday.
Double A's committed two er-
rors in the field but made up for
them with double plays in the
first, third and fourth innings to
help Williams out of occasional
jams due to wildness.
Wood Singles
Actuaries' only hit was a single
by Ken Wood in the second inn-
ing. A good throw by catcher Stan
Larmee picked Wood off first
base, however, to end the inning.
Don Schutte pitched nearly as
well for Actuaries, giving up just
three hits and four runs in the
four innings he worked.
Shoddy fielding by Actuaries
accounted for most of the Double-
A runs. The A's scored two in the
first on two walks and a couple of
errors, and two more in the third,
aided by four more miscues.
Final Two Runs
They added their final two runs
on three hits in the fifth after
Schutte had departed, to put the
game on ice.
Actuaries' runs came in the
third inning on two walks and an
error, but Williams recovered his
control and shut them out the rest
of the way.
In third place Independent
playoffs, Evans Scholars defeated
Owenl Co-operative House, 8-5.
OFF
--Daily-Ian MacNiven
"HE'S SAFE!"-In yesterday's I-M playoff action at Wine's Field,
an unidentified runner proves that an orthodox slide isn't always
the best way. He has just backed into third base ahead of the tag.
TKE beat Sigma Chi, 3-2, for the Social Fraternity "A' champion-
ship.

BAAD GOT START TO 'GET AWAY FROM HOMEWORK':
Former Daily Sports Editor Prefers 'The Inside Stuff' in Athletics
Al
..#
By JIM BENAGH
Soft-spoken Jim Baad got
"tired of homework" one fall
evening during his freshman year
-so he joined The Daily's sports
staff.
Yesterday , . . four years later
. . . he stepped down from the
position of Sports Editor, after
establishing a long record as a
"Mr. Inside" on Michigan athlet-
ics.
His brother Dave was writing
sports and had encouraged him to
join the staff ever since he en-
tered school. Dave became Daily
Managing Editor in 1955-56.
No Stereotype Here
When you first meet likeable,
boyish-looking Jim Baad, you
have a difficult time stereotyping
him with other sports scribes: he
is neat, doesn't wear f 1 a s h y
clothes, never is seen with a cig-
arette or hip flask, and rarely gets
frustrated when the flow of copy
slows down.
He is 'not noisy or driving-and
is careful about his value opinions
of anyone. Instead he is "a sin-
cere and mature gentleman," ac-
cording to football coach Bennie
Oosterbaan.,
Baad was more interested in
getting on the "inside" of ath-
letics-the aid program, recruit-
ing, the place of athletics, and
"what it all means."
"I just wonder if all the
squabble about how many touch-
downs someone scores really mat-
ters," he said, after totaling up
everything he has learned about
a t h 1 e t i c s. And philosophizing
further, "I still think it's what an
athlete gets out of school that
counts."
A lot of Baad's views have come
from Oosterbaan, whom he was
impressed with as a freshman and
then respected all the more as he
got to know the coach better.
Basketball Favorite Sport
Despite his admiration for the
grid coach, he maintains that
basketball is his favorite sport: "to
play, cover, watch . . . and even
care about."
This preference goes back to his
high school days at Dearborn,
where he prides himself as being
"the sixth man on a cage team
which had Don Poloskey and Ken
Tippery, a couple of ex-Michigan
baseball stars."
Baad-got his writing break dur-
ing his sophomore year when he
was assigned to cover gymnastics.
Before the year was over, Coach
Newt Loken cited him as "one of
the best gymnastic writers I've
seen here in my ten years."
His ability to understand a
sport is all part of the "fine ana-
lytical mind" - another praise
Qosterbaan has for. him. At base-
ball games, for example; he pre-
fers a seat behind home plate in-
stead of the press box.
But it was a basketball game
that gave him his finest sport
thrill as a Daily writer. That was
Michigan's 81-72 upset over Mich-
igan State at the close of the
1956-57 season.
The senior pre-dental student
operates an untiring schedule
along with his Daily chores. Aid-
ing other staffers, activities at
Delta Upsilon and Michigamua,
numerous bridge games, and
weekend trips to Dearborn to see
his wife Wanda and baby daugh-
ter, all make a tight week.
He still has produced well
enough in the classroom to keep
his Regents-Alumni scholarship
over the years.
As a way to close his career,
"Mr. Inside" chose to devote his
final sports column to his admir-
ation of sports policies at Michi-
gan.
